  So, my friend works for NY1 newschannel and knows the editor at Latina Magazine. She likes the way i write so she asked me to write a short story cuz the magazine might feature it! I wanted to post it to get everyones opinion on it. There are some references to different neighborhoods in NYC and some words in Spanish, but its pretty understandable in context. Here goes:

  I woke up one sunny Saturday morning and I stretched lazily in bed. ?Ah? I thought ?I can relax in bed all morning and watch some tv? Suddenly I get a call from a friend. ?Say you love me now, because I have a hook-up for you and your girls? said my friend J, a hot NYC promoter.

  That's great! I love that magazine. I've tried my hand at some freelance writing and was published in a small insignificant magazine called Big World....it was nice seeing my name in print nonetheless.....I haven't written much since. You'll have to let us know what copy your story will be in! Good luck!

  Anyone can try their luck at the Ig Nobel Prize:

  http://www.improb.com/ig/ig-top.html

  Some of last year's winners:

  MEDICINE
  Steven Stack of Wayne State University, Detroit, Michigan, USA and James Gundlach of Auburn University, Auburn, Alabama, USA, for their published report "The Effect of Country Music on Suicide."

  PHYSICS
  Ramesh Balasubramaniam of the University of Ottawa, and Michael Turvey of the University of Connecticut and Haskins Laboratory, for exploring and explaining the dynamics of hula-hooping.

  PUBLIC HEALTH
  Jillian Clarke of the Chicago High School for Agricultural Sciences, and then Howard University, for investigating the scientific validity of the Five-Second Rule about whether it's safe to eat food that's been dropped on the floor.

  PSYCHOLOGY
  Daniel Simons of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and Christopher Chabris of Harvard University, for demonstrating that when people pay close attention to something, it's all too easy to overlook anything else -- even a woman in a gorilla suit.

  PEACE
  Daisuke Inoue of Hyogo, Japan, for inventing karaoke, thereby providing an entirely new way for people to learn to tolerate each other.

  etc. etc.

  There is a bug in the editor for this site. You have to paste the Word document into Notepad and then copy and paste from notepad into here.
